The portal should create as simple a process as possible for both parties to ensure maximum levy investment is retained in GM and where necessary, non-levy paying organisations have no training cost. Therefore GM, seeks to commission a 'matchmaking' service that ensures as many levy payers (public and private sector) as possible transfer unspent funds to non-levy payers negating the need for them to pay the 10% co-investment For more information on this opportunity please visit The Chest at [the-chest.org.uk](https://www.the-chest.org.uk). ## CPV classification IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/56e2d03d-6ffa-407a-a160-13b8f778e1b0) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
